(01:06) we are seen as a user country how are you relevant in the market you should talk in pleas coming to the podcast our today's guest is Mr the founder of student India's largest student Community enjoy today's podcast
(01:54) with hi hi at last okay thank you first very happy for you I am seeing you from the early days before Tel connects also it's like you saw the growth you worked you observed lot of people so you know it always feels happy to see a younger brother growing and that was a whole thought yeah yeah so podcast starting I just want to talk about skills
(03:20) oneu I'm not astrologer to just tell you actually basic problem becoming too much conscious about the degree they study obviously but there is nothing called you will realize as you start working you'll know which one is your skill especially let's talk about the genzi current life I see lot of people passionate weekend singing instrument he knows that he has to have
(04:08) a passion he has to have a profession sector people there is another sector of people who made passion as a profession they form their own unique character and the third type of people is like course that is not skill we get lot of opportun laptop
(05:01) coding so he's not a coder first he doesn't identify mistakes de so I always refer to one movie okay okay so how you
(05:53) identify right Mentor slowly growing your own art true so how you create that whole notion either you identify your skill or get identified by right Mentor then you'll know what is the right skill and lot of skills also problem SKS okay SK can we make Revenue enough Revenue just but suddenly he becomes a big musician then he can only focus on it so
(06:42) are are your skills helping you to lead a great life is also very important cost of living so you everyone wants to have a great life so patience capital there was always an upper limit lot of people wait till 34 35 don't so lot lot of people at the end
(07:32) it boils down to the money also what they earn and money with passion is heaven so Money Matters money does matter yes it is always is connected with money but after a point of time okay obious and you know I was born in a
(08:26) proper middle class family a government servant Sun school teacher you always feel like cash flow is different being rich is different when we were kidt so these are the things which make you feel you can't hear no let me buy that let me get that you start feeling money plays a very big role in your life and then you start thinking how should I
(09:23) make money what are the alternative ways student part job how do we make money how to make money and they get fall into trap also is with the same thing so I realized during the college days especially that 17 and 18 I felt I should start earning money and that's where I started doing lot of odd jobs and rest is history yeah nice 18 17 18 you start having indendent
(10:43) Cho you start becoming indendent first Cho making decisions in your life but I'm talking about C of people who start taking decisions I always say there are two things first you start identifying two three things people always have these
(11:28) professions based on the popularity in the society first you should identify is job shadowing If You observe what did he do what did he study what are the skills which made him like that so kind of a respect that they command I have to get that respect so they start becoming their follower some remain as follower some become leader
(12:13) okay and right opportunity how do they grab first you have to have Role Models Ro models I started reading lot of biographies if you come from a very remote place and you don't have access start reading lot of biographies different people come from different planet thought but when I started looking at lot of people start as normal people but
(12:59) they see inspiration from certain role models and they start taking those points from them and they start implementing them and when they start implenting they have to move into a right place so most of the times changing the place coming out of your comfort zone matters a lot
(13:52) and people are getting the name but lot of professions require you to be in a right place with right people surrounding see conditions Financial conditions play a role you know I can't comment generically one size solution at least your Summers you need to do some
(14:39) internship you start moving out of your comfort Place into the faster Pace world it doesn't work and number two it's it's sometimes like you don't have more connections connections the kind of examples or the role models you have are limited but at the same true but
(15:25) disadvantage the kind of opportunities you get are limited so you need to balance the both and how can you come in summers to City when you just get getting that right connections once they go back they can be the best in their place finding right opportunity OPP at the same time yeah years life ad experiences
(16:54) 300 followers how to become 100k have to leave them second
(17:54) related so you should know first two two three things first write a testimony from your network word of M how can you trust someone what is his track record number one number two some of them are domain experts some of them are functional experts a domain expert and exper sales
(18:44) exper is he referred by someone who already took help or you are the first person who is trusting him so asking right because adity of advice goes down so you should know whom are you choosing for what advice and second point you need to know why are you asking that advice are you
(19:28) serious about it because are wasting that one golden opportunity with a [Music] person doesn't matter what suits you how are you asking that question that is a very important point people Miss outat at the same time influence
(20:22) product he's the right person to give that road map Society is always run by four set of people politicians glamour which is industry which is a movie industry media and entertainment Modo the sports n the business World business World always de glamorized people why in basic always like that's how it is today business guys are also breeding personal Brands that's a different story but movie industry and sports industry are the content creators I I call them as more like show and entertainment the media and entertainment people always relate
(21:09) more for me in the b2c business I was never interested basic point because today it has become more relevant biggest of the big investor are starting podcast biggest of the big investors are starting their channels because attention time today is very less because he has to be relevant he has to come on their feed he has to be you know because all these things too lot of people I keep saying one basic point
(21:59) a casual way of talking you'll pick some or two one or two points which you'll adopt you'll pick up couple of points which are needed for you some person will have a life changing thing also I have this concern n
(23:01) [Music] did you figure it out [Music] so these are the very important factors where there's no background research and that is making lot of people waste lot of valuable hours true anded
(23:49) speak what are the three takeaways that I'll have students so you have to know what you have to derive anding notwork speak so but not all entrepreneurs are
(24:42) good public speakers there are lot of great people who are doing great work there's nothing wrong M you should talk so there are people who will say something or other stuff are they you know they important to you or are they irrelevant to you and lot of times obligation lect fin next next year grad
(26:02) a a disconect [Music] andology words Thea today requ people who will make things
(26:53) simple not complex who makes things simple so how do you make things simple guest speakers
(27:53) speak for example first I surround myself with younger people like you you know you know I have to just listen to them problem and
(28:56) Bas again the point of making it simple right example and speaking langage talk in the language which they want to hear not that language which you know changing it is like technology words you are [Music]
(29:56) sick okay so it's like thir see in the world of AI we have to be human again human connect Brotherhood so when you bring back those smaller things people start appreciating you so students speak should fall in love first
(31:11) point is I'm I love I love the stage part you know I want to stand on the stage first scho so when you are comfortable on stage when you own the stage are we relevant first your audience first so first go and feel that place H before
(31:59) anyone comes imagine that her whole is full just feel like you're addressing them not the whole audience you don't care so you should care about yourself first become comfortable first Tech that's okay I'm not getting there but when you want to stand on a stage first don't talk just stand on a stage so feel the vibe and that conscious when you doing that self
(32:57) talk fear thing is public speaking Yeah the number one cockroach the first most feared thing is public speaking so the first how many times you [Music] do so you should take as much St time as possible then you'll become as better as you can be socially int socially
(33:53) 23th next okay break you know there's always that up and low there are B and B okay they always want to work youthful they always want to stretch more and want want to [Music] work so I try to keep the average age as less as possible so that I also gain lot
(34:40) of energy from them and we start sharing our own experiences with them and we feel more younger and there's lot to do and student tribe is just expanding now all over India expand need that youthful energy don't search outside you always have that love and affection inside your
(35:24) family so nuclear families anyone can walk into my room they can talk to me and they feel good because they know that there is someone to support confidence lot of they own it loyal Talent you can't build Enterprises because but the point is they you are not building teams it is not about single person companies it is about building teams the whole point is
(36:24) B you should feel that warm in my office the doors are open they come they talk I keep cracking jokes that's how we talk okay someone so when we casually talk like that they feel so comfortable to talk about it teenage relationship what's your body count
(37:29) it's easier people are moving on they are like friends who Friends with Benefits who there's lot of culture shock adaption no points and you have to remember one basic point in teenage relationships they are confused so they choose someone who is confused okay and and you know they want they want that attention okay fine they don't want to fix some things they want to just move on a fast track watch rash on okay they want something with less that's the reason they're losing
(38:18) the Hope on marriage they're losing a lot of Institutions are so basically teenage relationships first their relationships are coming with an expiry date M most of them I'm not saying everyone but majority of them number two because they are the stressful lives I am equal we are equal okay what's running okay they I'm not a relationship adviser or a trained professional first of all I want to give a disclaimer there what I'm seeing day in Day Out
(39:07) Among students stud emotional experience with student experience surprising experience emotional experience with students technically I saw lot of people you can't even react to them
(40:05) but because you can't keep waiting for some government to get you Jobs truey family [Music] exper experience
(40:58) thank you that's a more emotional experience because surprising surprising experience surprising sometimes you feel good Happ that's the it's like your baby
(41:45) getting recognized so surprising experien lot of people don't know me I'm happy that is a more happy thing because see now point is the most happiness for me is always getting someone an
(42:30) opportunity which he deserves so students good job go for so that's how I see student experiences and day in day out I'm feeling very happy for that expi things it's always good to take it
(43:23) in a right Spirit yeah nice for example see today to be honest Sunday M I'm just dedicated to this first 40th birthday birthday I wanted to dedicate myself to this so today 7 days in a week 365 days I'm only thinking about how to build this
(44:16) commun St middle class okay yes I have a family have a happy family touch what I have blessed with two boys ni got married very young in life at 24 at 24 it's been like almost 11 years of marriage very happy uh you know there's no complaints at all my personal life that becomes secondary for me and basic problem yes lot of people really doesn't matter to people you know
(45:04) where you come from it's a victim mentality you know I come from a middle class family I didn't see much depends on individuality born and bought up so it's like you know the G of Old City teach you how to be tough and we had fun and there was a
(45:52) great childhood a childhood was something where it was something like Cricket so you have that very very ordinary childhood and there was a very happy thing that it was all about how do you enjoy how do you enjoy is all about friends uh without knowing the status so that is helping me today to empathize with all type of
(46:39) people are very very normal single 70050 room the TV room guest guest room and it was story we enjoyed that all and I don't like small talk I'm
(47:26) always questioning myself too much of discussion in family too much of family things people are engrossed in it Comfort family is like a drug like a comfort zone Val so I always say people have to move out of their comfort zone and start doing lot of new things it was a great life it was like
(48:16) not a great when we first met okay
(49:29) so lot of things we feel that we plan so it's almost like work out and I failed in chemistry Advanced it is technically two hours
(50:21) math two hours physics two hours chemistry yeah typical middle [Music] classo happy he's a superhero for [Music] me so we had proper book dad do and don'ts he is my role model I don't want to be like him we printed some 2,000 copies and it
(51:09) went into the market and stuff so experiences with my dad so childh it was more like he the most talented person who is underutilized what is the biggest fear that you have the fear is very good doubt so the biggest fear that everyone
(52:00) should have fear is important and every middle
(52:49) class obviously I always feel like very lucky have a person like him because caption he's a great speaker but the world didn't recognize him mhm he is a best state teacher award mhm he was a big
(53:37) innovator he's more connected to his school kids than us so I used to observe that that worship was there so but that helped me to be whatever I am today he is my first investor he first he's always like that person who used to say like you always ask so when you have that support I felt
(54:30) first B lot of notated point is how we talk about father character character okay 18 and he feels like so father
(55:16) character it is something which I feel still there has to be lot to be spoken about and today as a father when I became I realized what is that value like so I had my first son in 2016 so I understood like I was very disappointed with my father I became father I realized okay when a son is born a father is also born Zi father is someone who's likees
(56:30) so the point I felt that has to be spoken about lot of people so I wanted to just dedicate it to him very happy whatever way we can enjo nice very nice to hear because father princip so principal [Music] so but point is like
(57:25) longm [Music] repeating you said 2 was youris and it was like a calculated one it was both and it was something like I had to take that leap of Entrepreneurship so entrepreneurship it was something like you know when you tell at home you know we like each other or whatever it I was thinking more I have to follow my
(58:11) dreams I that was the right time to because I had in city I was working with a company already had a H1 opportunity there was a discussion in the family they asked me do you want to take this next step and my wife is 23 at that time wow so it was like 24 and 23 I said like let me take this risk okay do something or whatever it is was a
(58:55) thought I always wanted someone to travel a journey with me because they travel the journey with you because they see you as you they don't see you as a CEO of a company they see you as someone who is struggling so I felt it was a conscious decision I wanted to travel the journey with someone who saw me almost like with nothing in hands okay so today I feel in the hset at 11 years I feel we had a great journey lot of roller coaster so that's like we are enjoying it so will you get married at the age of
(59:42) 24 and see I always say it's a very personal thing okay uh it's very individual it depends on that family so I come from Hyderabad I had my parents who had a house here M so it's like I still think that I didn't have that liabilities so lot of things are not again it depends it depends on the right person right partner lot of these things play a very big role not Su someone else but you know it depends I can't comment it's a fictional thing but
(1:00:29) after a point of time you don't see but for me kids was a very beautiful thing in my journey because lot of times they don't even want to have kids they don't even one kid or whatever or pets are cool everybody has their own opinions I respect everyone's opinion they are my other two startups okay so it's like my my first startup student dri so the point is I named them and so but they grow very [Music]
(1:01:24) patiently so you learn patience when you see kids I wanted to tell you startup Journey kid growth it teaches you patience it tells you like okay it's okay to fail you learn and it takes time for you to grow patience persistence you learn so that you are hitting the cards on right not patience important every entreprene patience is one thing important and entreprene you have to
(1:02:16) wa soene where you're married so because married family responsibility at the same time entrepreneurship it's a responsibility because they make lot of sacrifices but are sacrifices Worth or not in the long term I don't want to play that victim card see it's a choice that you made okay have and you have to SCT it yes you made a choice you became one and you informed your
(1:03:03) partner yes they are sacrificing a lot so it's like when you just make it on a j way very funny way so they take it in a right Spirit you should always choose a person who is act accepting your negatives not positives if they like them then stick to them because so when I found such person who is accepting my negatives more I felt
(1:03:49) let me stick to it I went through my own pressures diabetes everyone has to go through it but the point how do you who are who are those three people whom you talk to have that minimal Circle you should have the I have good friends who are where I can talk to them about it have friends who are entrepreneurs nobody became I know a billionaire who had nothing six seven years back so I know some startups personally have invested into few
(1:04:33) companies because of the friendship which I have they were doing like 5 lakh Revenue to a 10 CR Revenue today per month so when you see so but confidence you are building that Network you get that confidence can't name here but you know I have friends who are running those companies because of startup Journey they became friends
(1:05:34) the confidence you get that okay fine the worst case is that right so you should know Al Network build okay okay but I am saying like so you should know that if it is not working out then you have options so the 2018 30 so experience 2018 just Frankly Speaking it was random
(1:06:20) application I was one of the first few people and all the stuff when I'm building something of a community and all these things people didn't appreciate it we needed valid are so obsessed with platforms from the West we are seen as a user
(1:07:10) country I needed validation from Global media GS so more than happy Richard Bron entrepreneurs they tweeted about it so lot of times when International billionaires validate it we feel that we are on a right path so I was checking myself but that doesn't matter what
(1:07:55) matters to use that validation that you are on a right path so I have to do this it came across as an opportunity and applied for it okay next so lot of
(1:08:57) points see you do something not in a planned way things [Music] happen coming back to see every three years I see a difference student years every three years there is a huge difference B students see basic point yearsing how are you relevant in the market
(1:10:03) number one number two degrees are not relevant because mulas feeding
(1:11:04) % students [Music] [Music] so the first bottom line students the
(1:11:50) first thing they are not trying to figure it out H first b psychc t start you go through few experiences it becoming the world is very
(1:12:41) approachable right second see this is the wrong side of the things so students so we have to normalize it in between [Music]
(1:13:28) it's not like one or two but lot of things if you redo it you'll do it better but everything in the hindsight I feel like subc which I can correct it now so see one is the hiring the type of hiring you do you know when you start off a company lot of time because of the lack of resources we don't hire the best I feel lot of people do this mistake go for the best quality guys search for people who are failed entrepreneurs whatever it is and take care of them give due
(1:14:12) recognition to them when you have best people right best outcome number two funding right people because you take Tom Dick Haring because you have to do a proper background check whom you are taking money from because unnecessarily you're in a loop if you're not taking that good rup bad rment discode you should know where are you taking money and what are the terms and how are you taking the money so this is very important those are the learnings which you'll have some people have to follow some people have to find
(1:14:53) a right mentor to get guidance entreprene patience have patience you know you have to be consistently doing some things and boring is something which I learned boring 8 you will grow in life entrepreneur there should be a routine
(1:15:40) and what are those routines that you build morning everything are routines how do you grow your routines so doing doing the boring thing is the most important thing and enjoying those things so that the 20% inovation so how that's what I learned personally initiala with experience I learned it now nice so one and half hour two hours time thank you so much my pleasure and all the best to you you're doing a great job and keep doing and keep connecting the people yeah thank you so much thank you thank you for watching the episode

(03:20) oneu I'm not astrologer to just tell you actually basic problem becoming too much conscious about the degree they study obviously but there is nothing called you will realize as you start working you'll know which one is your skill especially let's talk about the genzi current life I see lot of people passionate weekend singing instrument he knows that he has to have
(04:08) a passion he has to have a profession sector people there is another sector of people who made passion as a profession they form their own unique character and the third type of people is like course that is not skill we get lot of opportun laptop
(05:01) coding so he's not a coder first he doesn't identify mistakes de so I always refer to one movie okay okay so how you
(05:53) identify right Mentor slowly growing your own art true so how you create that whole notion either you identify your skill or get identified by right Mentor then you'll know what is the right skill and lot of skills also problem SKS okay SK can we make Revenue enough Revenue just but suddenly he becomes a big musician then he can only focus on it so
(06:42) are are your skills helping you to lead a great life is also very important cost of living so you everyone wants to have a great life so patience capital there was always an upper limit lot of people wait till 34 35 don't so lot lot of people at the end
(07:32) it boils down to the money also what they earn and money with passion is heaven so Money Matters money does matter yes it is always is connected with money but after a point of time okay obious and you know I was born in a
(08:26) proper middle class family a government servant Sun school teacher you always feel like cash flow is different being rich is different when we were kidt so these are the things which make you feel you can't hear no let me buy that let me get that you start feeling money plays a very big role in your life and then you start thinking how should I
(09:23) make money what are the alternative ways student part job how do we make money how to make money and they get fall into trap also is with the same thing so I realized during the college days especially that 17 and 18 I felt I should start earning money and that's where I started doing lot of odd jobs and rest is history yeah nice 18 17 18 you start having indendent
(10:43) Cho you start becoming indendent first Cho making decisions in your life but I'm talking about C of people who start taking decisions I always say there are two things first you start identifying two three things people always have these
(11:28) professions based on the popularity in the society first you should identify is job shadowing If You observe what did he do what did he study what are the skills which made him like that so kind of a respect that they command I have to get that respect so they start becoming their follower some remain as follower some become leader
(12:13) okay and right opportunity how do they grab first you have to have Role Models Ro models I started reading lot of biographies if you come from a very remote place and you don't have access start reading lot of biographies different people come from different planet thought but when I started looking at lot of people start as normal people but
(12:59) they see inspiration from certain role models and they start taking those points from them and they start implementing them and when they start implenting they have to move into a right place so most of the times changing the place coming out of your comfort zone matters a lot
(13:52) and people are getting the name but lot of professions require you to be in a right place with right people surrounding see conditions Financial conditions play a role you know I can't comment generically one size solution at least your Summers you need to do some
(14:39) internship you start moving out of your comfort Place into the faster Pace world it doesn't work and number two it's it's sometimes like you don't have more connections connections the kind of examples or the role models you have are limited but at the same true but
(15:25) disadvantage the kind of opportunities you get are limited so you need to balance the both and how can you come in summers to City when you just get getting that right connections once they go back they can be the best in their place finding right opportunity OPP at the same time yeah years life ad experiences
(16:54) 300 followers how to become 100k have to leave them second
(17:54) related so you should know first two two three things first write a testimony from your network word of M how can you trust someone what is his track record number one number two some of them are domain experts some of them are functional experts a domain expert and exper sales
(18:44) exper is he referred by someone who already took help or you are the first person who is trusting him so asking right because adity of advice goes down so you should know whom are you choosing for what advice and second point you need to know why are you asking that advice are you
(19:28) serious about it because are wasting that one golden opportunity with a [Music] person doesn't matter what suits you how are you asking that question that is a very important point people Miss outat at the same time influence
(20:22) product he's the right person to give that road map Society is always run by four set of people politicians glamour which is industry which is a movie industry media and entertainment Modo the sports n the business World business World always de glamorized people why in basic always like that's how it is today business guys are also breeding personal Brands that's a different story but movie industry and sports industry are the content creators I I call them as more like show and entertainment the media and entertainment people always relate
(21:09) more for me in the b2c business I was never interested basic point because today it has become more relevant biggest of the big investor are starting podcast biggest of the big investors are starting their channels because attention time today is very less because he has to be relevant he has to come on their feed he has to be you know because all these things too lot of people I keep saying one basic point
(21:59) a casual way of talking you'll pick some or two one or two points which you'll adopt you'll pick up couple of points which are needed for you some person will have a life changing thing also I have this concern n
(23:01) [Music] did you figure it out [Music] so these are the very important factors where there's no background research and that is making lot of people waste lot of valuable hours true anded
(23:49) speak what are the three takeaways that I'll have students so you have to know what you have to derive anding notwork speak so but not all entrepreneurs are
(24:42) good public speakers there are lot of great people who are doing great work there's nothing wrong M you should talk so there are people who will say something or other stuff are they you know they important to you or are they irrelevant to you and lot of times obligation lect fin next next year grad
(26:02) a a disconect [Music] andology words Thea today requ people who will make things
(26:53) simple not complex who makes things simple so how do you make things simple guest speakers
(27:53) speak for example first I surround myself with younger people like you you know you know I have to just listen to them problem and
(28:56) Bas again the point of making it simple right example and speaking langage talk in the language which they want to hear not that language which you know changing it is like technology words you are [Music]
(29:56) sick okay so it's like thir see in the world of AI we have to be human again human connect Brotherhood so when you bring back those smaller things people start appreciating you so students speak should fall in love first
(31:11) point is I'm I love I love the stage part you know I want to stand on the stage first scho so when you are comfortable on stage when you own the stage are we relevant first your audience first so first go and feel that place H before
(31:59) anyone comes imagine that her whole is full just feel like you're addressing them not the whole audience you don't care so you should care about yourself first become comfortable first Tech that's okay I'm not getting there but when you want to stand on a stage first don't talk just stand on a stage so feel the vibe and that conscious when you doing that self
(32:57) talk fear thing is public speaking Yeah the number one cockroach the first most feared thing is public speaking so the first how many times you [Music] do so you should take as much St time as possible then you'll become as better as you can be socially int socially
(33:53) 23th next okay break you know there's always that up and low there are B and B okay they always want to work youthful they always want to stretch more and want want to [Music] work so I try to keep the average age as less as possible so that I also gain lot
(34:40) of energy from them and we start sharing our own experiences with them and we feel more younger and there's lot to do and student tribe is just expanding now all over India expand need that youthful energy don't search outside you always have that love and affection inside your
(35:24) family so nuclear families anyone can walk into my room they can talk to me and they feel good because they know that there is someone to support confidence lot of they own it loyal Talent you can't build Enterprises because but the point is they you are not building teams it is not about single person companies it is about building teams the whole point is
(36:24) B you should feel that warm in my office the doors are open they come they talk I keep cracking jokes that's how we talk okay someone so when we casually talk like that they feel so comfortable to talk about it teenage relationship what's your body count
(37:29) it's easier people are moving on they are like friends who Friends with Benefits who there's lot of culture shock adaption no points and you have to remember one basic point in teenage relationships they are confused so they choose someone who is confused okay and and you know they want they want that attention okay fine they don't want to fix some things they want to just move on a fast track watch rash on okay they want something with less that's the reason they're losing
(38:18) the Hope on marriage they're losing a lot of Institutions are so basically teenage relationships first their relationships are coming with an expiry date M most of them I'm not saying everyone but majority of them number two because they are the stressful lives I am equal we are equal okay what's running okay they I'm not a relationship adviser or a trained professional first of all I want to give a disclaimer there what I'm seeing day in Day Out
(39:07) Among students stud emotional experience with student experience surprising experience emotional experience with students technically I saw lot of people you can't even react to them
(40:05) but because you can't keep waiting for some government to get you Jobs truey family [Music] exper experience
(40:58) thank you that's a more emotional experience because surprising surprising experience surprising sometimes you feel good Happ that's the it's like your baby
(41:45) getting recognized so surprising experien lot of people don't know me I'm happy that is a more happy thing because see now point is the most happiness for me is always getting someone an
(42:30) opportunity which he deserves so students good job go for so that's how I see student experiences and day in day out I'm feeling very happy for that expi things it's always good to take it
(43:23) in a right Spirit yeah nice for example see today to be honest Sunday M I'm just dedicated to this first 40th birthday birthday I wanted to dedicate myself to this so today 7 days in a week 365 days I'm only thinking about how to build this
(44:16) commun St middle class okay yes I have a family have a happy family touch what I have blessed with two boys ni got married very young in life at 24 at 24 it's been like almost 11 years of marriage very happy uh you know there's no complaints at all my personal life that becomes secondary for me and basic problem yes lot of people really doesn't matter to people you know
(45:04) where you come from it's a victim mentality you know I come from a middle class family I didn't see much depends on individuality born and bought up so it's like you know the G of Old City teach you how to be tough and we had fun and there was a
(45:52) great childhood a childhood was something where it was something like Cricket so you have that very very ordinary childhood and there was a very happy thing that it was all about how do you enjoy how do you enjoy is all about friends uh without knowing the status so that is helping me today to empathize with all type of
(46:39) people are very very normal single 70050 room the TV room guest guest room and it was story we enjoyed that all and I don't like small talk I'm
(47:26) always questioning myself too much of discussion in family too much of family things people are engrossed in it Comfort family is like a drug like a comfort zone Val so I always say people have to move out of their comfort zone and start doing lot of new things it was a great life it was like
(48:16) not a great when we first met okay
(49:29) so lot of things we feel that we plan so it's almost like work out and I failed in chemistry Advanced it is technically two hours
(50:21) math two hours physics two hours chemistry yeah typical middle [Music] classo happy he's a superhero for [Music] me so we had proper book dad do and don'ts he is my role model I don't want to be like him we printed some 2,000 copies and it
(51:09) went into the market and stuff so experiences with my dad so childh it was more like he the most talented person who is underutilized what is the biggest fear that you have the fear is very good doubt so the biggest fear that everyone
(52:00) should have fear is important and every middle
(52:49) class obviously I always feel like very lucky have a person like him because caption he's a great speaker but the world didn't recognize him mhm he is a best state teacher award mhm he was a big
(53:37) innovator he's more connected to his school kids than us so I used to observe that that worship was there so but that helped me to be whatever I am today he is my first investor he first he's always like that person who used to say like you always ask so when you have that support I felt
(54:30) first B lot of notated point is how we talk about father character character okay 18 and he feels like so father
(55:16) character it is something which I feel still there has to be lot to be spoken about and today as a father when I became I realized what is that value like so I had my first son in 2016 so I understood like I was very disappointed with my father I became father I realized okay when a son is born a father is also born Zi father is someone who's likees
(56:30) so the point I felt that has to be spoken about lot of people so I wanted to just dedicate it to him very happy whatever way we can enjo nice very nice to hear because father princip so principal [Music] so but point is like
(57:25) longm [Music] repeating you said 2 was youris and it was like a calculated one it was both and it was something like I had to take that leap of Entrepreneurship so entrepreneurship it was something like you know when you tell at home you know we like each other or whatever it I was thinking more I have to follow my
(58:11) dreams I that was the right time to because I had in city I was working with a company already had a H1 opportunity there was a discussion in the family they asked me do you want to take this next step and my wife is 23 at that time wow so it was like 24 and 23 I said like let me take this risk okay do something or whatever it is was a
(58:55) thought I always wanted someone to travel a journey with me because they travel the journey with you because they see you as you they don't see you as a CEO of a company they see you as someone who is struggling so I felt it was a conscious decision I wanted to travel the journey with someone who saw me almost like with nothing in hands okay so today I feel in the hset at 11 years I feel we had a great journey lot of roller coaster so that's like we are enjoying it so will you get married at the age of
(59:42) 24 and see I always say it's a very personal thing okay uh it's very individual it depends on that family so I come from Hyderabad I had my parents who had a house here M so it's like I still think that I didn't have that liabilities so lot of things are not again it depends it depends on the right person right partner lot of these things play a very big role not Su someone else but you know it depends I can't comment it's a fictional thing but
(1:00:29) after a point of time you don't see but for me kids was a very beautiful thing in my journey because lot of times they don't even want to have kids they don't even one kid or whatever or pets are cool everybody has their own opinions I respect everyone's opinion they are my other two startups okay so it's like my my first startup student dri so the point is I named them and so but they grow very [Music]
(1:01:24) patiently so you learn patience when you see kids I wanted to tell you startup Journey kid growth it teaches you patience it tells you like okay it's okay to fail you learn and it takes time for you to grow patience persistence you learn so that you are hitting the cards on right not patience important every entreprene patience is one thing important and entreprene you have to
(1:02:16) wa soene where you're married so because married family responsibility at the same time entrepreneurship it's a responsibility because they make lot of sacrifices but are sacrifices Worth or not in the long term I don't want to play that victim card see it's a choice that you made okay have and you have to SCT it yes you made a choice you became one and you informed your
(1:03:03) partner yes they are sacrificing a lot so it's like when you just make it on a j way very funny way so they take it in a right Spirit you should always choose a person who is act accepting your negatives not positives if they like them then stick to them because so when I found such person who is accepting my negatives more I felt
(1:03:49) let me stick to it I went through my own pressures diabetes everyone has to go through it but the point how do you who are who are those three people whom you talk to have that minimal Circle you should have the I have good friends who are where I can talk to them about it have friends who are entrepreneurs nobody became I know a billionaire who had nothing six seven years back so I know some startups personally have invested into few
(1:04:33) companies because of the friendship which I have they were doing like 5 lakh Revenue to a 10 CR Revenue today per month so when you see so but confidence you are building that Network you get that confidence can't name here but you know I have friends who are running those companies because of startup Journey they became friends
(1:05:34) the confidence you get that okay fine the worst case is that right so you should know Al Network build okay okay but I am saying like so you should know that if it is not working out then you have options so the 2018 30 so experience 2018 just Frankly Speaking it was random
(1:06:20) application I was one of the first few people and all the stuff when I'm building something of a community and all these things people didn't appreciate it we needed valid are so obsessed with platforms from the West we are seen as a user
(1:07:10) country I needed validation from Global media GS so more than happy Richard Bron entrepreneurs they tweeted about it so lot of times when International billionaires validate it we feel that we are on a right path so I was checking myself but that doesn't matter what
(1:07:55) matters to use that validation that you are on a right path so I have to do this it came across as an opportunity and applied for it okay next so lot of
(1:08:57) points see you do something not in a planned way things [Music] happen coming back to see every three years I see a difference student years every three years there is a huge difference B students see basic point yearsing how are you relevant in the market
(1:10:03) number one number two degrees are not relevant because mulas feeding
(1:11:04) % students [Music] [Music] so the first bottom line students the
(1:11:50) first thing they are not trying to figure it out H first b psychc t start you go through few experiences it becoming the world is very
(1:12:41) approachable right second see this is the wrong side of the things so students so we have to normalize it in between [Music]
(1:13:28) it's not like one or two but lot of things if you redo it you'll do it better but everything in the hindsight I feel like subc which I can correct it now so see one is the hiring the type of hiring you do you know when you start off a company lot of time because of the lack of resources we don't hire the best I feel lot of people do this mistake go for the best quality guys search for people who are failed entrepreneurs whatever it is and take care of them give due
(1:14:12) recognition to them when you have best people right best outcome number two funding right people because you take Tom Dick Haring because you have to do a proper background check whom you are taking money from because unnecessarily you're in a loop if you're not taking that good rup bad rment discode you should know where are you taking money and what are the terms and how are you taking the money so this is very important those are the learnings which you'll have some people have to follow some people have to find
(1:14:53) a right mentor to get guidance entreprene patience have patience you know you have to be consistently doing some things and boring is something which I learned boring 8 you will grow in life entrepreneur there should be a routine
(1:15:40) and what are those routines that you build morning everything are routines how do you grow your routines so doing doing the boring thing is the most important thing and enjoying those things so that the 20% inovation so how that's what I learned personally initiala with experience I learned it now nice so one and half hour two hours time thank you so much my pleasure and all the best to you you're doing a great job and keep doing and keep connecting the people yeah thank you so much thank you thank you for watching the episode
